Math bridge Usage Scenarios
- 1. Sergey Sosnovsky, Saarland University / DFKI Math-Bridge Usage Scenarios
- 2. Supported Learning Activity - 1 ❖ Static course browsing ❖ Accessing multiple courses at the same time ❖ Making bookmarks to remember the last open page or the interesting pages ❖ Solving interactive exercises ❖ Can be multistep ❖ Can provide advanced feedback ❖ Taking tests/exams ❖ Tests do not allow multiple attempts / Exam do, but without feedback ❖ Can be time-limited ❖ Protected from cheating
- 3. Supported Learning Activity (extra) ❖ Access learning content in multiple languages ❖ Individual learning objects can switch presentation language on- demand ❖ Use advanced search ❖ Search for a phrase ❖ Search for a specific type of learning objects (with specific features) ❖ Search for something that sounds “about right" ❖ Browse through the relations between learning objects
- 4. Supported Learning Activity (adaptive) ❖ Generate personalised courses ❖ Get navigation support through adaptive progress indicators ❖ Receive adaptive on-demand micro-instructions
- 5. Supported Teaching Activity ❖ Course administration ❖ user management ❖ group membership management ❖ course/ test/exam management ❖ Reporting tool ❖ simple events ❖ exercise events ❖ aggregated student report ❖ aggregated exercise report ❖ test/exam reports ❖ …
- 6. Supported Authoring Activity ❖ Course assembly ❖ pre-generation ❖ modification of existing ❖ creation from scratch ❖ Creation of individual learning objects ❖ template-based exercise authoring ❖ semantic/syntactic /numeric correction check in exercises ❖ multilingual learning object authoring ❖ friendly metadata authoring ❖ hierarchical ontology browsing
- 7. Supported Research Activity ❖ Reports ❖ Hierarchical group management ❖ Functionality management

- 10. Things to consider ❖ Content matching ❖ Math-Bridge content must follow the course content ❖ If existing Math-Bridge content is reused, the course material needs to be modified accordingly ❖ If the course remains unchanged, it needs to be transferred into Math-Bridge ❖ Extrinsic motivation ❖ Math-Bridge activity => extra-credit ❖ Math-bridge performance => part of the course grade ❖ Some course activity can be done only in Math-Bridge ❖ Math-Bridge is promoted as a test/exam preparation tool ❖ Tests/exams are (partially) composed from Math-Bridge exercises (with some modifications) ❖ Teacher’s Support
